Last night (Saturday 9 August) I was thinking about the best concerts that I'd been to and the best single performance .........Isaac Hayes version of "Aint No Sunshine" in London in the 70s, Amazinfg saxophone. I spent an hour or two looking at Albums and looking for downloads of his music and thinking that I should update my collection. Then today I hear of his death. This is tragic .I wonder what made me think of him suddenly. Ain' t no sunshine when he's gone"
